Giving Notes to Students (part 3) - Ep #17

It can be a challenge to help everyone with feedback in a diverse class or team setting. But a few simple things can help a wider range of improvisers.

Hello Improv and Performer Friends!

Notes (feedback) can be confusing for some student performers because of communication differences. This episode discusses what teachers can do to help improve and resolve some of the typical communication issues around questions and notes.

Why can’t a student just ask for clarification? That can be loaded in some improv cultures (for now), and as such it can put a lot of burden on some students. Classes can be structured to make this a bit easier for everyone, while also still maintaining structure and accounting for time limitations.
